Clothes sometimes tell the story of our lives. Real style is personal. Style is all about expressing your individuality freely, with confidence and courageously, a matter of being yourself on purpose. Make it simple, but significant.

Recently,  Perla celebrates Filipinas fashionistas held the fashion show entitled Basics Redefined: The Perla Fashion Show, the event  at The Block, SM North EDSA last August 25 featured 30 real-life Perla users who slayed the Perla all-white OOTD contest on Facebook and Instagram. The fashionista ladies proudly presents themselves with the stunning style with confidence.

Proudly Filipino brand, Perla is the first natural laundry soap brand in the Philippines. Proven, tested, and trusted over the years, Perla remains the number one choice of many Filipinas when it comes to maintaining delicate clothes

Using Perla for our clothes as been passed on through generations – from our grandmothers to our mothers, helping them take care of our clothes.

Many of Filipinas love the caring Perla experience and  doing innovative creative actions  to show millenial people uses stunning wears. 

Today, many fashionable Filipinas are turning to basics to create standout looks. Monochromatic outfits are ail the rage in some of the top fashion capitals of the world – from New York to Milan, Tokyo to Paris – all-white looks dominate runways and walkways. This trend has now caught on here in our country, with fashionable Filipinas rocking the look everywhere.

And to help them take care of their basic whites, more and more Filipinas are turning to one trusted name – Perla.

Our clothes are not made equal. Some need special care. And Perla is the perfect partner in taking care of your special clothes such as whites as it is made with natural ingredients that keep your whites looking pristine and new while ensuring that your skin remains moisturized and not irritated. – Perla Brand Specialist Quiel Estrella

Perla is known for its gentle cleaning properties without the harsh and harmful ingredients. Perla is made from 50% pure coconut oil, which has strong antibacterial properties and contains lauric acid. As an excellent natural cleaning agent, lauric acid traps oil and dirt and makes it easy to wash away. Each bar of Perla also contains glycerins – a natural moisturizer that makes clothes much softer as well as our skin. Plus, it contains lavender extract, giving every wash a clean, fresh scent.

The Original White Perla soap (available in both long bars and cut bars) naturally and gently cleans your special clothes, officewear, sleepwear, underwear, baby clothes, and whites. It is also less abrasive compared with the other brands making our clothes last longer. It retains the credibility of colored clothes without compromising the strength of the fabrics even after several washes.

Because Perla gently whitens whites and removes dinginess naturally, there is no need for too strong laundry aids and products for clothes whitening!

We all know that laundry water is not the same everywhere. Hard water, like water from poso (artesian well) in the provinces, contains high levels of calcium and minerals that will lead to yellowing of your special whites. For your special whites, use Perla Original Blue (available in both long bars and cut bars).  It is a pure soap made from coconut oil and has a natural blueing agent that counteracts yellowing so no need for bleach!

Since it is made from natural ingredients, Perla is also hypoallergenic to our skin so no need to worry about your loved ones getting allergies or rashes. But for more extra care on your delicate hands, you can use the Perla Papaya variant with papaya-extract (available only in cut bars).

Perla is made from pure coconut oil which is 100% biodegradable, making Perla environment-friendly and supportive of the local Coconut Oil industry.

And to mark their deep relationship with fashionable Pinays over the years, Perla staged a fashion event celebrating the unique fashion sensibilities of Filipinas. Entitled Basics Redefined: The Perla Fashion Show, with Perla’s brand ambassador Toni Gonzaga, the event  at The Block, SM North EDSA last August 25 featured 30 real-life Perla users who slayed the Perla all-white OOTD contest on Facebook and Instagram. Through runway ready all-white looks, these Filipinas proved that white outfits are neither bland nor boring, but instead empowering and timeless.

“It’s so inspiring to see all these ladies, from all walks of life gathered in one place to celebrate fashion and timeless style,” Toni shared. “These women are mothers, students, and career women, and Perla took the time to pamper them, dress them, and glam them up. I’m so happy that they got to experience the level of Perla’s meticulous care, just like what I’ve enjoyed from Perla.”

From the thirty ladies who joined the fashion show, three winners were named who subsequently took home special prizes from Perla!

Globe intensifies drive to recover PH’s severely depleted primary rainforests

Tweet

Globe Telecom, together with Hineleban Foundation, Inc., has launched an intensive drive to educate the public and raise awareness about the severe state of Philippine primary rainforests that only have 1.5% of its cover remaining. 

Globe targets to raise at least P18 million by end of 2021 on top of the estimated P12 million already donated from proceeds of the company’s paperless billing campaign and internal fund-raising activities since December 2016.  This time, the company is enjoining its partners and the public to participate in the reforestation drive.  Globe has committed to donate P30 million within a 5-year period to cover 300 hectares of denuded primary rainforests in Bukidnon and Lanao del Sur.

Bukidnon is prioritized as the starting point for rainforestation in Mindanao since it hosts four main mountain ranges that serve as the watersheds for the island and where six major rivers emanate, providing the much-needed water for drinking, hydro power, and irrigation for agriculture food production. Together with two other mountain ranges in Lanao del Sur, these six mountain ranges are vital for food, water and energy security in Mindanao.

Thus, to show the current situation of primary rainforests not only in Mindanao but in the rest of the country, Globe and Hineleban came out with online videos that educate the people on the causes and effects of forest denudation, and ways on how they can help address the problem.

“This initiative is in line with our environmental sustainability policy designed to lessen the impact of our operations to the environment as well as promote environmental sustainability among our customers and stakeholders. It is also in support of the UN Sustainable Development Goals which seek to protect, restore and sustainably manage our forests to stop land degradation and biodiversity loss,” said Yoly Crisanto, Globe Chief Sustainability Officer and Senior Vice President for Corporate Communications.

She added:  “We hope that these videos would serve as an eye-opener to many Filipinos and drive them to take action.  We believe that through small, simple ways, anyone can contribute in preserving and protecting the environment including our rainforests.”

At present, almost nothing is left in the Philippines primary rainforest cover compared to about 70% over a century ago.  This rapid decline is attributed primarily to widespread logging, rampant slash-and-burn practices, conversion of rainforests into farmlands, and the encroachment of human settlements in protected areas.

For instance, logging activities leading to forest denudation were reported as the cause of heavy flooding and mudslides that Mindanao experienced in December last year at the onslaught of back-to-back typhoons, prompting the government to stop all logging activities in the Zamboanga Peninsula.  Without trees to absorb water from the soil, soil erosion as well as flooding usually occur during prolonged rainfall, causing danger to life and property.

On the other hand, during the dry season, there is a significant loss of rainfall and river water for irrigation across almost all of Mindanao resulting in an approximately 40% decrease in land productivity during a 30-year period.  The National Irrigation Administration records showed a 75% decrease in the volume of river waters during the dry season over the last 30 years, thus, affecting crop cycles and food production.

Deforestation also leads to loss of clean drinking water from forest watersheds and to wildlife extinction due to the destruction of their natural habitat.

To help address the problem, Globe and Hineleban have started a drive to rebuild primary rainforests in Bukidnon and Lanao del Sur. This follows the rainforestation model methodology that comprises three major components: reforestation of denuded primary rainforest, food security and sustainable livelihood development.

Since taking care of the environment is the responsibility of everyone, Globe and Hineleban are encouraging the public to take part in the advocacy.   Those who cannot physically plant a tree may have a tree planted on their name for a P100 donation.  To do so, text (your name)<space>(number of trees to donate) to 2158-8733 (TREE).  Interested parties may also visit http://hineleban.org/donate for more payment channel options. Aside from donation, Globe has been urging the public to go digital via paperless billing to lessen their dependence on trees.

Beyond reforestation efforts, Hineleban and Globe have been working together since 2016 to tap local communities to become guardians of the rainforests. The land area, which is the focus of the foundation's reforestation program, engages more than 21 barangays and is home to the indigenous people of Bukidnon and Maranaos of Lanao del Sur. 

This initiative is banked on three United Nations Sustainable Development Goals which promotes Life on Land, Climate Action, and Responsible Consumption and Production. As leader of digital lifestyle, Globe is anchoring its key initiatives on its four-point program: Care for the Environment, Care for our People, Positive Societal Impact, and Digital Nation.
